Kiana din Altas “Maelstrom”

 

Windfinder

 

28

 

5’9”

 

130lbs

 

Char Descrip:

 

Slim, Kiana isn’t nearly the giant her brother, Felix, is, being only slightly above average height for a woman.  As long hair on a generally windy ship is annoying to keep out of the way, her hair is cropped short and out of the way.  Mind you, this doesn’t do much to hide her jutting cheekbones.

 

Clan Tattoo: sea serpent twined around a blade whose pommel was a star

 

Sept Tattoo: trident crossed with a spyglass

 

Char History:

 

Well, to hear Kiana tell it, she was born in the middle of a raging storm and just as the ship was getting sucked into an enormous whirlpool, her father managed to pull the Storm Spear out of danger.  Of course, her birth was nothing of the sort and she wasn’t even born in a gale, let alone a hurricane.

 

Instead, Kiana earned the nickname from the abnormal amount of energy she had as a child, and still has when she’s intent on antagonizing her brother.  Watching her run from one end of the ship, to the other, her father had once remarked that if she didn’t stop, they’d get sucked down into a maelstrom.  The nickname had stuck with the rest of the crew.

 

Being the younger of two children, her brother Felix was her elder by five years, Kiana was generally spoiled and developed the habit of irritating her brother just to see if she could get away with it.  The habit stuck even when Felix just began taking “justice” into his own hands.  Justice that was easily exacted seeing as little Kiana was a foot shorter and well over a hundred pounds less.

 

The discovery of her ability to channel evened the score somewhat though while she might be able to soak him or swat him with a simple weave, usually she’d find herself unceremoniously chucked from the deck later on that day.

 

For all their bickering, Kiana refused to leave her brother’s side even after he married onto his wife’s ship and Lael din Ciwa was so conveniently in need of a Windfinder.  Since the Storm Spear already had its own, the young woman found herself happily settling back at her brother’s side, or perhaps being the thorn she was, settling “in” her brother’s side might be more accurate.
